This enables the recently added and/or enhanced memory protection
features in upstream EDK2:
- strict code/data separation PE/COFF sections so that mappings can
  be made either read-only or non-executable
- remove exec permissions from all other (i.e., non-code) regions (as
  far as is feasible without breaking GRUB)
- remap the DXE stack as non-executable before entering DxeCore

I'm theoretically quite keen on getting this enabled, but would
definitely need a Tested-by from Ryan before I would want to see it merged.

Tested-by: Ryan Harkin <ryan.harkin@linaro.org>

Tested on FVP Foundation & AEMv8, TC2 and Juno R0/1/2 when combined
with the HEAD of EDK2 (currently 056563f) and OpenPlatformPkg at
c6cdf9e, but with my hack to get TC2 booting [1].

I can't really defend to myself keeping that patch out of the public
tree any more. We don't care enough to try to figure the actual issue
out and it's needed for the platform to be of any use.

Want me to just push it?

Yes please :-)

If you could be so kind as to remove the "HACK" prefix from the title,
that would be much appreciated. Although, it is still a hack...

Done. (And shortened the remainder of the subject slightly.)

I kept the rest of the commit message as-is, in violation of
guidelines, because it's archeologically useful (and includes indented
copies of other commit messages, which I wouldn't want to reflow).
